How Life Works Here
Sussex Street is located in City of Plymouth, near Plymouth. Crime is a significant concern, with 1872 incidents recorded in 12 months — well above the national average. Violence and sexual offences dominates reports. 942 violent offences were recorded (50% of total). This level of crime reflects a high-footfall transit area rather than a typical residential street. Some amenities are available nearby, though a car may be useful for regular errands like grocery shopping. The closest is Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar and Grill Plymouth (restaurant, 35m). Public transport is accessible, with rail and bus stops within reach. The nearest is about 68m away. The median property price is £360,000. Based on 1 transaction recorded since 2014. The local area has a moderate population, with a high proportion of rented accommodation. There are 7 schools within 2 km, 7 rated Good or Outstanding by Ofsted. Both primary and secondary options are available locally. The nearest school is just 475m away. However, high crime rates and a dense urban environment significantly undermine family suitability despite the school provision. The data suggests this area could appeal to young professionals. Overall, this street scores 45 out of 100 for liveability, in the lower quartile for its district. Note that the composite score masks a serious safety concern that may outweigh other strengths for many residents.
